    If these two favorites get by their fights this weekend, I wouldn't be surprised to see this next. Who wins and how? :think

    Depends on which Porter shows up. If the porter that showed up for the brook fight then I'd pick Berto if he's still in prime form.

    The Porter that showed up for the Brook fight is the same Porter that shows up every fight. He's not on Brook's level.

    :deal exactly. Anyone can walk through Pauline M, but not many can through those chocolatey lefts and rights.

    I'll give Porter credit he did show a decent chin that night.

    Shawn Porter was overhyped bcause of his win over Paulie. If you compare him to Thurman which was hyped, Thurman has faced higher level competition though Thurman is still lack of high quality (top 10 welter) opponents.
    Still at this point, Porter > Berto.

    Yep, I'd agree. Didn't think either was that good even when their hype was at it's max.

    Wasn't Porter seen as the mike tyson of the lower weights before brook schooled him.

    I think it would be a 50/50 fight. It should be a war, a good fight. Porter would have more power, just depends on how much Berto has left and if Porter has learned since his loss..............

    Porter's a bit of a one trick pony. I doubt he learned anything.

    Every fight? You mean how he showed up in Diaz 1. He still had it close on 99% of the scorecards on an off night, and with all the hugging Brook did. I think Brook held more than Wlad, and Abril combined.

    You complain about Brook doing it against Porter.....but when Hopkins does it more against 'Zaggers, Dirrell against Forch, Ward against Kessler, etc it a 'schooling'.

    Your actual agenda: Porter, Hopkins, Ward & Dirrell are black Americans.

    Froch, 'Zaggers, Brook & Kessler or not.



    Exposed. Next.

    I highly doubt any of those guys held as much as Brook. That had to be some kind of record.

    They held far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far more than Brook.

    But then again, you scored it for Porter so I'm not sure what you was watching.
